DAY TRIP

by Vicki Wood

Historic Columbia

The best spots for history & dining

K

eeping with the theme of Day Trippin’ closer to home due to crazy gas prices, an educational visit to the Boone County Historical Society is just the ticket.

The roots of Missouri can be found here, but approaching the museum, one artifact jumps out at visitors.

There is a glass-encased copy of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. Because it’s a first edition it’s priceless and protected behind a security glass. The wood-sided, vintage-style building also houses some stunning photography.

A rotating gallery happened to be on display during this visit with a captivating snapshot of Columbia-area history. It centered around some of their most well-known families, and some random Victorian-era photos.

A “When They Were Young” photo gallery features more than 60 Boone County children photographed over 20 years from 1916 to 1936 by local photographers Henry Holborn and Wesley Blackmore. With a collaboration between the Boone County Historical Society and the Genealogical Society of Boone County and Central Missouri, the gallery was made possible offering a view of some children who grew up to be community leaders, and others who conducted ordinary lives. But the images of their childhood hint at an era that shows promise and constitution of character, even at such a young age.

Meet the Author events at the Boone County Historical Museum focus on local Missouri writers with our Lake-area Susan Croce Kelly who wrote “Father of Route 66.” She is considered to be a forefront historian on all things Route 66.

The museum is free to dive into, and you will find yourself sucked in with an hour passed before you know it. The rotating collections are captivating. Life-size displays such as the surrey wagon meet visitors upon entrance to the rooms of artifacts from Boone County, mid-Missouri, and Civil War history.

The Boone County History and Culture Center is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It’s located at 3801 Ponderosa Street, Columbia, which is a short outer road from Highway 63 upon entering Columbia.

Other Sites to See

While Day Tripping Boone County history, visit The Blind Boone Home. The antique treasure in the heart of Columbia is a two-story Victorian home formerly owned

by John and Eugenia Boone at 10 N. 4th Street in what is deemed “The District.” John William “Blind” Boone was 12 VACATION NEWS

Make a stop at Ernie’s Cafe & Steak House, Columbia’s oldest classic diner.

Ernie’s Cafe & Steak House on Facebook known as a musician of African-American achievement during the turn of the century. He was not only blind, but poor and overcame both to gain fame as a pianist and composer.

Every year the site hosts a birthday party in honor of Boone with bands, food and, of course, cake – all free to the public.

Boone was born in 1864 during the Civil War in Miami, Mo. The son of a slave/prisoner taken from Confederate forces, his father was a Union bugler. A severe childhood brain infection struck him not only blind, but required his eyes to be removed.

Guided tours will help visitors relive the history surrounding the Victorian-era home containing artifacts, a musical museum, and Boone’s piano.

Tours are by appointment only at www.blindboonehome.org May 20 - June 2, 2022

DAY TRIP

Where to eat

As always, one likes to start their day in Boone County with a favorite meal of area locals.

Ernie’s Café and Steak House is just that. It’s a funky restaurant downtown at 1005 E. Walnut that is open for breakfast and lunch. The menu is protein laden, with the Twin Chopped Cow being the choice for this day trip. It’s basically a double burger with BBQ sauce, but the name was irresistible.

For breakfast, how about a 4.5-ounce Filet Mignon? With two eggs and hash browns, one can feel extra special after that meal. Ernie’s serves a daily blue plate special for lunch, and caters to coffee lovers with a deluxe espresso machine. Adult beverages are on the menu with Ernie’s Toasted Almond, Champagne Mimosas, or craft beers. Dessert can be a peanut butter milkshake or a blueberry sundae.

Founded in 1934 by Ernie Lewis, it’s a Columbia tradition with art deco architecture and some local fame on the walls from a Stephens College graduate’s father. Chester Gould, creator of the Dick Tracy comic series, enrolled his daughter at Stephens College in the 1940s. Gould visited Ernie’s a lot when seeing his daughter at school. He made an original drawing for Ernie’s which is on display as well as some of his other work.

Ernie’s Café and Steak House is open 7 days a week from 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

A collection of Victorian photographs features 20 years of history at the Boone County Museum.

FISHING Missouri Department of Conservation

Get hooked on fishing Fish June 11 and 12 without having to buy a fishing permit, trout permit, or trout park daily tag.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) invites the public to get hooked on fishing through its Free Fishing Days June 11 and 12. During Free Fishing Days, anyone may fish in the Show-Me State without having to buy a fishing permit, trout permit, or trout park daily tag.

Free Fishing Days is an annual MDC event that takes place statewide during the Saturday and Sunday following the first Monday in June.

Aside from not needing permits, other fishing regulations remain in effect during Free Fishing Days, such as limits on size and number of fish an angler may keep. Special permits may still be required at some county, city, or private fishing areas. Trespass laws remain in effect on private property.

MDC reminds anglers in Missouri that fishing permits are required before and after June 11 and 12, unless an angler is exempt by age or other factors.

All other fishing regulations are also in effect.

Conservation makes Missouri a great place to fish. Missouri has more than a million acres of surface water, and most of it provides great fishing.

More than 200 different fish species are found in Missouri, with more than 20 of them being game fish for the state’s more than 1.1 million anglers. Learn more about fishing in Missouri at mdc. mo.gov/fishing.

Want to learn to fish? MDC’s Discover Nature – Fishing Program provides a series of free lessons throughout the state. All fishing gear is provided.

Learn more at mdc.mo.gov/fishing/ discover-nature-fishing.

For information on Missouri fishing regulations, fish identification, and more, get a copy of MDC’s 2022 Summary of Missouri Fishing Regulations where permits are sold, or online at mdc.mo.gov/fishing/regulations.

MDC’s free MO Fishing app can help anglers find the best places to fish in Missouri, access regulation information, identify fish by species, and more.

Harbor Hop kicks off summer season

O

Lake of the Ozarks CVB photo

n Saturday, May 7, boaters had the opportunity to participate in the 25th annual Spring Harbor Hop at the Lake of the Ozarks. The Harbor Hop is a poker hop in which participants pick up playing cards in order to build a winning poker hand and become eligible to win prizes. Players donate $20 per seven-card hand and start their run to draw their first card at any of the sponsoring restaurants, and marinas along the lake’s Main Channel, the Big Niangua and Gravois arms.

This year there were 1,169 hands sold and 38 different sponsors. Spectacular weather helped make the Spring hop a very successful event.

“This event is a great opportunity for visitors and locals to get out on the Lake,” states Heather Brown, Executive Director for the Lake of the Ozarks Convention and Visitor Bureau. “At the Harbor Hop, we can guarantee a good time. We invite everyone to come join us for the Fall Hop on October 8, 2022 and enjoy a day out on the water.”

The Spring Harbor Hop traditionally is held the first weekend of May to kick-off the summer boating season. The Lake of the Ozarks CVB sponsors the Spring Harbor Hop as well as the Fall Harbor Hop held the second weekend in October to extend the boating season. Other sponsors include the Lake of the Ozarks Marine Dealers Association and Waterfront Restaurants.

Be a part of history

L

ake of the Ozarks will make a second attempt at breaking the current record for the largest official boat parade in the world on Saturday, June 11. The current record, according to Guinness World Records, stands at 1,180 vessels and was set in Terengganu, Malaysia, in September 2014. Over the years, there have been many attempts to break the record by different cities, including last year’s attempt at the Lake of the Ozarks. This year’s parade organizers say they “are in it to win it” and are confident they can make it happen.

“This is an invitation to all boaters from across the country to come to the Lake of the Ozarks and help us break the world record on June 11,” says Lagina Fitzpatrick, executive director for the Lake of the Ozarks Tri-County Lodging Association and one of the organizers of the event. “What better way to spend a summer Saturday than boating on the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks and being a part of history?”

“Last year we only had three weeks to promote our event but we still ended up with over 600 boats from thirteen different states, so we’re happy with what we were able to accomplish in such a limited time,” Fitzpatrick added. “We learned a lot last year and we have more time to prepare and promote the parade this time around. So, we’re excited to break the world record on June 11.”

The 2022 boat parade, which will be marshaled by title sponsor Mortgage Headquarters (MHQ), will begin at 11 a.m. and will run from the 3-mile marker near Lake of the Ozarks State Park marina to the 1 mile marker of the Grand Glaize arm of the Lake of the Ozarks. Official adjudicators from Guinness World Records will be on hand during the parade to certify the results and, according to Fitzpatrick, hopefully declare it the largest boat parade in the world the same afternoon.

The parade of boats will be broken into eight sections corresponding to vessel size, from personal watercraft (life jackets required) up to 50-foot cruisers. Participants may launch their vessels for free at the Pa He Tsi Boat Launch at Lake of the Ozarks State Park, where the milling stations will be set up.

For the safety of all boaters, every watercraft is required to maintain idle speed throughout the duration of the event.

Eight different predetermined milling stations will be set up from the 6-mile marker up to the parade starting point.

All participating vessels must register ahead of time to be counted. Registration for the 2022 boat parade costs $20 per boat and includes an official “Guinness World Records Attempt” flag to fly on each boat during the parade and an official numbered wristband. Register at www.funlake.com/ boat-parade-registration.

Any proceeds generated from boat parade registrations will go to the Lake of the Ozarks Water Safety Council, which seeks to promote water safety at the Lake through educational outreach programs and stressing the importance of wearing properly-fitting life jackets and always having a designated captain.

hen Denny Hiner walked out of the hospital in 2013 he began to wonder why God kept him on this earth. He had been in the ICU for 40 days after having three cardiac arrests, open heart surgery, liver failure, kidney failure, respiratory failure, pneumonia and was on life support for 16 days. The doctors and nurses called him “The Miracle Man.” While on the road to recovery, Denny, along with his wife Danna, came up with the idea to start an organization that would help youth in need in the Lake area. They started a non-profit with the primary goal to improve the self-esteem of needy children by providing basic needs and making it possible for them to participate in school or community activities.

CLUB NEWS dolphin hospital. They thought the concept would work in the Lake area but wanted to focus on kids.

They call themselves the Jesters of Goodwill, under the non-profit The Lake of the Ozarks Idiots Club.

Anyone can become a member for $5.

The Hiners are both retirees from the Camdenton School District. With more than 58 percent of kids in the Lake area living in poverty, they knew it was a situation that needed to be addressed. Working with the five Lake area school districts, as well as social service agencies, the club receives requests for assistance from the schools and agencies, and volunteers use funds to get the item requested on behalf of the child. Items requested have been everything from clothing, psychological therapy, new tires for a car, a musical instrument, fees to sign up for a sporting event, books, and other requested items that are not covered by other non-profits. They also help with scholarships for Dual-Credit courses to help youth gain the education they need to break the cycle of poverty.

Since 2016, the Jesters of Goodwill have provided almost $97,000 to give high school students the opportunity to take classes and receive college credit.

Since starting the charity in June 2014, the club has been able to provide more than 36,395 child assists spending more than $731,000 directly on youth living in poverty in the Lake of the Ozarks community.

“We thought if we

could raise $4,000-$5,000 each year for kids living in poverty that would be amazing…we just can’t believe all the blessings on this charity,” Danna said.

“We wanted to do something to help the kids in the community, but after everything we had been through, we also wanted to have fun! Nothing would be possible if it weren’t for our amazing members, donors and volunteers that have big hearts.”

The Idiot’s Club is active during the summer at Lake of the Ozarks and hosts a variety of events to raise money, in addition to collecting yearly membership dues.

L

ooking for something unique and fun to do with the family? A new attraction has opened in the Lake area. Located inside the Laurie Terrace Mall, Raging Smart Axes has eight lanes for throwing axes, knives and stars as well as other entertaining options that will keep everyone busy for hours.

Opened by owners Crag Mounts and Audrey Sheppard, the couple fell in love with axe throwing about five years ago after attending a birthday party in St. Louis. They continued to travel and play at axe throwing establishments and finally decided to share the experience with others on the west side of the Lake.

Throwing is recommended for ages 13+ but there is no age requirement. All guests are trained by ax-perts and rules are explained prior to beginning their time. Cost to play is $15 for 30 minutes, $25 for 60 minutes or $45 for two hours, per person.

Do the math:

REAL ESTATE SECTION

Buying a home now is possible (BPT) - With record low housing supply and high inflation contributing to skyrocketing home prices, the barriers to owning a home may seem insurmountable. But buying a home in a sustainable, affordable way is possible with low down payment mortgage options. First-time and low- to medium-income homebuyers can qualify for mortgage financing without emptying their bank accounts and can keep some cash on hand for home improvements or a rainyday fund.

Conventional home loans backed by private mortgage insurance (MI) have been available for borrowers for decades and helped nearly 2 million homebuyers in the past year purchase or refinance a mortgage. Private MI is a temporary cost that allows for a down payment as small as 3% of the purchase price. While some borrowers wait until they save 20% for a down payment, the added years of saving can translate to higher interest rates, more expensive home prices and lost home equity.

“Renters who are on the hunt to buy should do the math and consider what is best for them, because often they will find that purchasing with a low down payment mortgage provides buyers with an ability to access the market sooner, and ends up being a significant advantage for them,” said Lindsey Johnson, president of U.S. Mortgage Insurers (USMI).

In today’s market, it could take a family earning the national median income up to 21 years to save 20%, according to calculations by USMI. If you are one of these renters looking to buy your first home but don’t have 20% down, don’t worry: you are not alone. According to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), the typical down payment in 2021 was 7% for first-time homebuyers and 17% for repeat homebuyers.

How can buying now save you money later?

Consider you want to purchase a $375,000 home, the median sales price for a single-family home in 2021, according to NAR. A 5% down payment is $18,750 versus $75,000 for 20% down.

34 VACATION NEWS

With a 740 credit score at today’s MI rates, your monthly MI payment would be about $157, which is included in your monthly mortgage payment until the MI can be canceled, usually after five years once you reach 20% equity in the home.

Due to robust home price appreciation (HPA) that came in at 17.5% for 2021, today’s $375,000 home will likely cost more in the years ahead. This will also have an impact on the necessary down payment and length of time required to save for it.

There are other variables in the equation too, such as interest rates. As interest rates rise, so too can the cost of mortgage financing.

Not all low down payment mortgages are the same. Importantly, government-backed loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) require at least a 3.5% down payment, an upfront charge that must be paid at closing or added to your loan balance, and the monthly insurance is permanent for the life of the loan.

Home energy saving tips change. Take advantage of opportunities in your community to choose green power as the energy source for your home.

(BPT) - You’ve probably heard a lot about climate change, but it can be difficult to know what you can do to help. As one person, you do have the power to make a positive impact on the health of the planet and a great place to start is by looking at the energy choices you make at home.

Protecting the planet is important, not just on Earth Day, but every day. You and your family can be part of the solution by using energy wisely. Make a plan to make your energy choices count, and you can feel good about supporting a healthier climate and saving money on your energy bills.

Here are three big-impact energy steps to consider:

3. Be part of the clean energy future

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently launched the ENERGY STAR Home Upgrade, an initiative that guides homeowners through a series of highimpact, energy-efficient improvements for the home that can save the average family about $500 a year on utility bills. You can choose the improvements that make the most sense for your home and implement them at your own pace. The upgrade includes: * Clean and efficient heating and cooling with a certified air source heat pump * Super-efficient hot water with a certified heat pump water heater * Smart climate controls with a certified smart thermostat * High-performing Energy Star certified windows and storm windows * A well-insulated and sealed attic * Making your home electric vehicle charger ready Taking these steps will help you make high-impact choices to improve your home and the health of the planet.

1. Save energy with ENERGY STAR

Products that earn the ENERGY STAR label are independently certified to save energy and help protect the climate. Using less energy saves you money on household energy bills, while reducing your overall carbon footprint. By being more efficient and making choices to use less energy, you’re helping support a complete transition to clean, renewable energy.

2. Switch to green power

By choosing to use electricity generated by renewables such as wind and solar instead of polluting fossil fuels, you will be supporting a cleaner energy supply and making a difference in the fight against climate
